December 2014
Time to light the candles
As the year winds down, I want to take a minute to thank you, dear readers, for helping me have such a tremendous year! I have been doing a lot of creative work lately--in my theatrical endeavors as well as my teaching. I have designed new courses, presented for some amazing groups, and in general have had a great year! So thanks to you all for being a part of my happy 2014 journey.
This month's blog post shares a very intersting project. One of my clients is posting her own podcasts as a new communications tool. You'll never guess who she asked for "expert advice."
Tips you can use!
Take care of that voice
Whether you're cheering at a bowl game or shouting over party music, you need to back off before you strain your voice. That croaky voice may sound "sexy" to you, but does it convey the professional image you want? Sadly, vocal damage often takes more than a good's night sleep to heal, so quit while you're ahead.
Drink less, drink more
Be sure to drink lots of water this time of year! Indoor heating dries out the air and your throat. Alcohol does, too--so watch those drinks, especially if you're giving a toast or making a speech.
Enjoy the moment
During the holiday season, our thoughts can get ahead of our actions more than they usually do. Breathe, focus, slow down, and be mindful of what you're doing. Open yourself to unexpected delights of the season!
